A batch of recent polling confirms the Democratic impeachment push is gaining steam — including a new POLITICO/Morning Consult survey that shows for the first time that more voters support than oppose proceedings to remove Trump from office. The uptick is primarily among Democrats, as Republican voters surveyed continue to have Trump's back.
In the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, 46 percent of voters said Congress should begin impeachment proceedings vs. 43 percent who said they should not. Eleven percent had no opinion. That support represented a 3-point bump from last week, when voters were evenly split.
The new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll comes as at least a half-dozen other media outlets have released surveys showing support for impeachment rising. The polls suggest that Democrats are gaining support for the impeachment inquiry as the Ukraine scandal unspools. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had resisted escalating the House’s investigations of Trump because of the political risks, but the latest surveys suggest the party is unlikely to bleed support from Democratic voters over the decision to challenge Trump head-on.
Still, the move isn’t without risk. The percentage of voters who disapprove of Trump’s job performance in the latest poll, 56 percent, still exceeds the 46 percent who think Congress should begin impeachment proceedings to remove him, or the 51 percent who say they support the current impeachment inquiry — a step short of actual impeachment proceedings. Those findings indicate that there is a slice of moderate voters who disapprove of Trump but think Democrats are going too far.

he looked like he had lost his mind!! He accused an american citizen & intel professional of being a spy while he himself has a cozy relationship with our oldest adversary! Then he accuses Schiff of treason when Schiff is only fulfilling his constitutional duty, unlike Heir Trumpf!
I almost hope that he & the rest of his criminal pals keep it up. Because the longer they try to deny it, the worse it will become for them.
As they say, if you give them enough rope, they'll hang themselves with it!
fat Donnie's usual strategy of insulting & shaming his critic isn't working in this situation if his critic has to remain anonymous! I'm sure that fact is driving him nuts!!
